New Novato In-N-Out Burger gets design commission approval

Novato's Design Review Commission approved plans Wednesday for a new In-N-Out Burger, and the planned fast food restaurant at Vintage Oaks could open as early as next summer.

The architects for the building made some minor changes in response to feedback in an earlier commission meeting, including moving an outdoor dining area away from the drive-through lane.

The company now needs to get a building permit and a demolition permit to tear down the building that housed a Burger King at 216 Vintage Way. In-N-Out is shooting for a summer 2013 opening for the restaurant.
